No Servants For Prince William & Kate Middleton

The new face of Britain’s Royal Family give new meaning to the phrase “Do-It-Yourself…”

The likely future king and queen already do their own cooking, cleaning and shopping at the rented cottage where they spend weekends together off the northwest coast of Wales. They plan to continue that servant-free lifestyle after their buzzed-about wedding at Westminster Abbey in April, Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports.

The couple do plan to have around-the-clock bodyguards protecting their isolated home while William wraps up his three-year tour of duty as an RAF search and rescue pilot, The Telegraph notes.

“It’s very much their instinct to manage on their own. Prince William is not into extravagance and, like any other young officer in the armed forces, that’s how he chooses to live his life. He and Catherine live without domestic staff and they wouldn’t do it any other way,” the paper quoted a source as saying.
